"Ichiro's hitting .300, but apparently isn't a superstar anyway." [Full Article]What in the world is that supposed to mean Neyer? Stats aren't everything, Neyer. Yes they are nice every once in a while, but once in a while Neyer you need to look beyond them. That's why I take anything Neyer takes with a grain of salt, just not with Ichiro, just anyone. Neyer is too much in the mold of Bill James.
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
